Steve, what do you think about the notion that Inter are playing boring football? I read this in Goal.com recently. Does it matter? And are they really a lock to take all of the spoils in Italy this year?

Earlier today, I saw Inter take on Fiorentina. They are a very efficient team, but I wouldn't call them boring. But everyone has their own opinion.

"Does it matter?" As Carlo Ancelotti said, "If you want entertainment, go to the cinema." In Italy and elsewhere, results count. Certainly, fans want attractive football; however, Inter haven't lost a league game in 2 years.

I think Inter will remain favorites to win Serie A. However, Roma and Juventus will mount serious challenges. AC Milan could awaken, but they have already dug a whole for themselves. We are about a third of the way through the campaign, so we shall see how things develop.

Funny comment from Ancelotti. It is quite true. You know I am these days a very big fan of Wenger's Arsenal but when I objectively look back at how I coach a team I realize I am more like the rest, perhaps more like the quiet, tense and calculating Benitez. It is true that winning is beautiful. Still, I have to say that the greatest thing is to both win and win with style...Looking forward to seeing how the Italian campaign unfolds...Sadly, I don't think that Roma have the legs to mount a serious challenge...but we'll see...

You will also find a review about Carlo Ancelotti's excellent book on tactics. There are excerpts from a factual novel about Gaetano Scirea along with Francesco Totti's humorous yet historical guidebook on ancient Rome.
